I have seen him play. He isn't close to Ty Ross or Micah Gibbs defensively. He is all offense and doesn't move well at all. He will have to play 1st or DH in college. I think LSU made right move in this case.

My son goes to school with him.

He will be a very good college player and should be highly drafted.

Friend of mine coaches him and from what I heard he had a bad experience with the coaches at LSU at a camp there (don't know specifics) as a sophomore and came back saying no way would he go to LSU. Had offers from Arizona, Stanford, GA Tech, FSU, etc so to say LSU is better off without is just being a homer.

I think his defensive skill is underestimated by the post above. I've seen him hit HR's into the top of the trees in left center at SPS and he was hitting it out in Center (420) as a Freshman. I've never seen anyone else hit the top of the trees in left center before. There is a road between the field and trees.

There used to be a bunch of guys that would routinely hit them that far. Not to beat a dead horse, but those kids were from the old coaching staff, before the change over a few years back. They just don't get any coaching now. A lot of politics over there, as well.
